Open source software
As a standards setting organisation DDEX’s main output are specifications in the form of text documents, XML Schema Definition files and XML sample files. DDEX only gains traction however, if there are implementations of its standards by companies and individuals. Some elements of these implementations have been published as "open source".
The table below contains some of the software modules that DDEX has found on GITHub that may assist with your implementation.
DDEX accepts no liability for the use of these software packages and modules in the implementation of any of its standards. DDEX offers no advice as to the suitability of these software packages and modules for use in the implementation of any of its standards.
If you are aware of any open source tools not listed here that you believe may assist others in implementing any of the DDEX standards please contact us and the list will be updated.
